    Summary

    Dying to get out of university housing, Nick Nelson and some of his rugby mates go together to rent a quaint, run-down Victorian house in an old neighborhood. Not long after they move in, though, they start to notice that things…move. On their own. There are always sounds in the other rooms. The light is always on in the attic, even when it’s turned off. There’s something…wrong…with the fireplace in the back parlor and they’re afraid to use it. The basement is terrifying. The boys don’t want to move out, they’re so close to campus and the rent is a steal - and now they know why. So how can they survive living in a haunted house?

    Summary

    “They're streets in the same city, and sometimes they intersect. I think I'm already planted at that intersection. I'm already under its streetlights.” - Billy-Ray Belcourt

    Charlie Spring is at his wits' end. After a decade of keeping his panic attacks at bay, they're suddenly back with a vengeance, threatening to derail the life he's meant to be planning with his fiancé Ben. The only glimmer of hope is his therapist's suggestion that he might have success with a service dog.

    Nick Nelson is back at square one. He's six months out of a failed long-term relationship, living at home again, and completely directionless. He loves working at his family's service dog agency, Second Chance, but he needs more than that to keep him afloat.

    Or: Nick and Charlie never sat together in form. They never dated. They both moved through life separately, suceeding and failing in small measures, until a chance meeting in their late twenties brought them back into each others' orbit.

    Summary

    Charlie lingers in the locker room long after all the other boys have left, almost as if he doesn’t want any of them to see where he’s going, and that more than anything convinces Nick that he’s got to do something to find out what’s wrong. So when Nick leaves the locker room, he turns a corner and then hovers there, waiting to see which direction Charlie goes.

    He’s not sure what he’s expecting—maybe that Charlie’s sneaking off to see Ben again? But Charlie doesn’t meet up with Ben. He doesn’t meet up with anyone. Instead, he ducks into a broom cupboard and emerges five minutes later in pajamas with a rucksack slung over his shoulders and what looks like a sleeping bag tucked under his arm.

    Nick comes out from around the corner. “Charlie? What are you doing?”

    xx

    A closeted Charlie comes out to his parents after Ben assaults him. When his mum kicks him out of the house, Nick and Sarah take him in instead.

    Summary

    The night goes on, he spends another hour lingering around Charlie, his mind distant from anything he's saying, he’s not sure when the time started to blur together or how he ended up away from Charlie, or any of his friends, for a second time. All he knows is that he really just wants to leave.

    Charlie is having fun, I can’t ruin that for him.

    He doesn’t know when the shitty LED lights got so bright, they felt like they were piercing into his skull.

    He doesn’t know when the music got so loud that he can’t hear anything anyone's saying, just the song blaring from the speakers.

    He’s not sure when so many people got here, but surely it was more than before, the room was so crowded he could barely breathe.

    Summary

    Charlie came to a stop at the light, about to tell Nick it was time to go since he was almost back to his dorms, when he suddenly jolted forward. It took him by surprise, he couldn’t help the yelp that escaped him.

    Nick was immediately talking, sounding far more panicked than Charlie even felt. “You okay? Charlie? Did something happen?”

    “Yes, but I’m fine, I think someone just hit my car."

    “Oh my god-”

    “Just a tap,” Charlie jumped in, shaking his head and taking stock of himself. Nothing hurt, he barely even moved forward, the seatbelt saved him from smacking his head on the steering wheel at least. “I’m fine, but I’ve gotta go see what’s going on. I promise I’ll call you back in a minute.”

    Summary

    Nick is sad about many things. But mostly about all the change now that sixth form is over. Sarah suggests they go on holiday to Menorca to cheer him up, and he ends up finding out much more about himself the summer before Uni begins than he anticipates.
    This is a story about the complex feelings and experiences that come with growing up and how our lovely boys help each other through them. Their journey as friends/lovers in this fic is not straight (lol) forward, but I can promise a happy end.
    The title is based on the song Love You by flowerlove

    Summary

    University is supposed to be about new beginnings, but for Nick, it’s mostly been confusion, especially as he struggles to fit in with his new rugby teammates and navigate his on-again, off-again relationship. Things take an unexpected turn when Nick accidentally texts the wrong number and ends up connecting with a witty, compassionate stranger who quickly becomes the best part of his day. Unbeknownst to him, that stranger is actually Charlie—a quiet, introverted student who's just trying to survive his first year.

    As their anonymous conversations deepen, Nick starts to question everything he thought he knew about himself, while Charlie finds himself falling for someone who doesn’t even know who he is. When the lines between their online chats and real life blur, secrets, misunderstandings, and hidden feelings threaten to unravel their growing connection.

    What happens when the person you’ve been pouring your heart out to is closer than you think? And how do you find yourself when everything you thought you knew starts to change?
